Fuel pumps typically fail completely, where they just stop pumping fuel. In that case the vehicle would either not start or would only run for a couple of seconds and then die.

Thanks for the explanation.

Just another development I thought I would share with regard to my problem.

I was told by someone to switch the key to acc wait about 20 secs and then pump the gas pedal a few times before starting. I did exactly that this morning and yday evening after the car was parked for about 8 hours and voila it started without that sputtering sound on both occassions :)

What could this mean???? Could anyone explain?
